I see a welding rig in my future. :rolleyes: Thought this would be cheap but it is looking like this damn dummy gun is going to cost me over $200. Needless to say, I bit off more than I can chew but Im past the point of no return AFAIAC.

My Son better appreciate this. :mad:

Im seriously thinking about going with a steel pipe now. Don't think PVC and glue are going to cut it.

You may also be getting seriously close to legally speaking "manufacturing an illegal machine gun" and "felony jail time".

A dummy should probably need only glue. As for welding I would seriously rethink that decision and consider what the .gov would and could consider to be an illegally manufactured machine gun at this point myself.

With all due respect, I am aware that there are ATF rules regarding how to make a dummy gun legally and am in the process of getting the "FACTUAL" details from the BATF in writing before I even start so please save your armchair legal advice. I did not ask for it and I do not need it. I will get the facts straight from the source, not off a forum.

As far as welding goes, even a plastic receiver has legal implications from what I understand. But let me and the ATF worry about that. We will get it straight.

Not trying to come off as rude but let me worry about the legalities. I know what I am doing. If you have nothing usefull to add other than armchair legal advice then please do not bother responding.
